Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol made yet another plea Sunday for Mitt Romney or Sen. Ben Sasse to launch a third-party bid to challenge presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
"Look what's happening to our country. Look at the two party nominees. An independent candidacy is still doable. Please. @MittRomney @BenSasse," Kristole tweeted on Sunday.
Kristol has spearheaded the charge for an independent candidate to enter the race and has worked with conservatives seeking to deny Trump the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland next week.
Kristol earlier this month encouraged Republican delegates to protest on the floor of the convention.
Trump has ripped Kristol over his efforts, calling him a "loser" and a "dummy."
"Bill Kristol has been wrong for 2yrs-an embarrassed loser, but if the GOP can't control their own, then they are not a party. Be tough, R's!" Trump tweeted in May.
"If dummy Bill Kristol actually does get a spoiler to run as an Independent, say good bye to the Supreme Court!"
I wouldn’t take this guy too seriously. As of today, 11 states have already passed their deadlines, including a number of battleground states (NC, NM, NV, and FL).
In just over 2 weeks, you can add the battleground states of MI, MO, PA, and WI.
At that point 26 deadlines will have passed.
The question for me is WHY is Kristol so Desperate for a third party candidate?
There is definitely something going on here.
Ann Romney and oldest son Tagg are going to have to stage an intervention. Have a private family meeting and tell him :”Mitt, let’s all face the truth. You are not going to be President this election, next election or ANY election. Mitt, you will NEVER be president of the United States.
But it does not matter to us at all, isn’t that right, Tagg? It doesn’t matter to your family or even to the Mormon Church. Now, let’s find you a new less expensive, less humiliating hobby. How do you feel about gardening?”
He has already committed suicide for his stupid magazine. After he is finished being the token attack Trump Repub his career is finished.
Pray America wakes
Fine. Romney’s wealthy, let him self-fund it.
Sasse thinks he’s got all the answers, let him resign his Senate seat and go for it.
Typical politicians, all talk...
I bet Kristol was not even for Sasse in the 2014 primary, as most conservatives very much WERE. Looks like we got sassed badly on Sasse
Bill “I got my head up Clinton’s A$$” Kristol continues to spew Bull$hit.
Wasn’t Kristol originally a “Dan Quayle acolyte”, or am I confused?
I don't even think it's about cheap labor anymore. This whole #neverTrump ‘movement’ is much more sinister.
These elitist aholes are scared sh!tless that some horrible truths will be outed when Trump is elected.
IMO, they have a good reason to be scared. A large majority of them will be exposed as TRAITORS. Covering for the O’muslim regime and the destruction of America
Trump has made Kristol mentally ill...
Commit him before he goes off the rails...
Kristol is just pissed because no one listens to him, or gives a flying f*** what he thinks-he and the rest of the GOPe really believed they could tell us Jeb Bush was the nominee and we’d accept-but the 3d time was not the charm-lucky for us, bad for them...

Sasse was another one of the "outsiders" that benefitted greatly from Glenn Beck still having an audience at the time.

Only one question - why are they doing this?
Don Quixote tilting at windmills, phantom enemies that exist only in his mind. All very valiant and brave, but stoopid as hell.
There is only one viable #NeverHillary out there. And it ain’t Romney.
Kristol is seriously mentally ill. He needs a car battery circuit completed across his ears.
Kristol very few people, if anyone, gives a damn about you or your ideas. You are a nobody these days-so shut up.
good Lord go away kristol u freak.... ur livin in a fantasy world
I’m not sure what your point is other than to confirm what I said about it being too late.
I would love to see Kristol led away in a straitjacket.
It’s Trump and Pence.
